About this engagement

No Kings: Vote Early! Annandale, VA, I-495 Bridge Brigade

Help us promote the vote! Join Troy Indivisible for a non-partisan Sidewalk StandOut around the Farmers Market to boost early voting. Our goal is to raise awareness about the early voting option (it starts 10/24) and to get more voters to cast early ballots. We want to see the largest early voting turnout in history! Voting information and voter registration will be available throughout the event, along with sign-up information for election protection training.

So make a sign and meet us in the empty lot at the corner of River and Fulton Streets in downtown Troy at 9:45am. From there, we’ll break into groups and walk to designated StandOut stations surrounding the Farmers Market. Some pre-made signs will be available, but bring your own creative design if you can. Stay the whole time or just pop in for as long as you want. Either way, we hope to see you out there on October 17th!

Important Note: This is a non-partisan, family-friendly event, so please keep signs simple, clean, and focused on voting or voting early. This is not a protest, it’s a Sidewalk StandOut to inform and mobilize voters. Please leave partisan signs at home!

Easy Sign Suggestions: VOTE, VOTE EARLY, JUST VOTE, VOTE OCT 24th, YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE, WANT CHANGE?—VOTE, DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON US, FLEX YOUR POWER—VOTE, DON’T FORGET TO VOTE, YOUR VOICE MATTERS, YOUR VOTE MATTERS. (Look online for more ideas!)

**We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.**

For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it’s a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing **our community** together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

*No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.*

*A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
